Package: xz-utils
Version: 5.0.0-2
xz refuses to unpack files that do not end with .xz suffix, which is

daniel@daniel-desktop:~/Downloads$ file binN4AC1CEQIn.bin
binN4AC1CEQIn.bin: XZ compressed data
daniel@daniel-desktop:~/Downloads$ xz --decompress binN4AC1CEQIn.bin

daniel@daniel-desktop:~/Downloads$ mv binN4AC1CEQIn.bin binN4AC1CEQIn.bin.xz
daniel@daniel-desktop:~/Downloads$ xz --decompress binN4AC1CEQIn.bin.xz
